WIDNES VIKINGS coach Steve McCormack believes his side have found the 'gamebreaker' they need with the signing of former Wigan Warriors and London Broncos half-back Dennis Moran.

Moran was released just last week by the Warriors to make room for Michael Dobson on their import quota, but McCormack is convinced he can do a job for the Vikings in National League One.

"He's got a lot of experience and I think his record over the last few years speaks for itself," McCormack insisted.

"He's a gamebreaker which is something that we've lacked.

"Somebody like Dennis will complement Ian Watson and James Coyle who are both good organisers.

"It should free Dennis to do what he does best which is create things for other people and himself."

Moran was Super League's top try-scorer in 2002 and 2003 with the Broncos and ran in 15 for Wigan in 2005.

He will go straight into the Widnes 17 who travel to York this Sunday though McCormack was reluctant to reveal what position he will play.

He continued: "Even though some people have said he hasn't done too well at Wigan, he was still the top try scorer for them last year.

"It's good now we've got a bit of competition for places and we'll have a look at things in training before we decide exactly where we'll play Dennis.

"He can play six, seven or one but maybe he's best at number seven."

McCormack has also taken Wigan forwards Jordan James and Oliver Wilkes on loan for a month, with both likely to feature this weekend.

"Jordan was in a National League grand final winning team with Castle-ford last year. He's a tough, uncomprom-ising player and can get better.

"He' will add bit of competition and steel to the back row.

"I tried to get Oliver earlier this year before he went to Wigan. He's a dynamic player who isn't intimidated by anybody. I coached him with Scotland and he was probably the stand-out player.

David Peachey, the Australian star sacked by Widnes when he returned home to see his dying stepfather, has joined NRL outfit South Sydney Rabbitohs. It was Peachey's release which created room on the Widnes import quota for Moran to join the club.
